Yes, this. All of the Swordmaster move summaries just say "with Rebellion equipped," "with Sparda equipped," etc, as do their descriptions (Prop: "Whip Rebellion around in a high-rev spin, launching the enemy upward) and the actual descriptions of the sword (sourced) all call it "Rebellion," not "The Rebellion."

More to the point, it's not grammatically necessary. Look at this as an example:

"Lady use a rocket launcher called Kalina Ann." "Lady uses a rocket launcher called the Kalina Ann."

All "the" does in the second sentence is make it clunkier and slightly more confusing as your brain tries to figure out what that superfluous "the" is doing there before it figures out the answer is "nothing." The purpose of a definite article in a sentence is to clarify that you mean that one (ie, a thing previously designated as the subject) rather than some other thing of the same type. Thus later in the article you could use "the rocket launcher" to indicate you're talking about the established rocket launcher called Kalina Ann rather than something else, but you never need "the Kalina Ann" because it's self-isolating as the name of a unique thing.
